9:08 am
can't afford it back i still needs water. and. the blue gold rush has begun. anyone stopped. the human right to water means that it's not a charity it's an issue of justice. this is the issue of our time this is the crisis of our time with financial pressure of human mobilisation rising the battle over water has already begun who will come out on top the planet the people of the markets. if you thought the hot weather was bad this weekend just wait until tomorrow the 5th day of our heat wave is expected to be incredibly uncomfortable and potentially dangerous as think you merely very hot today it's moving in from the midwest where they've been dealing with this 138 and now it's moving here to the east coast secret stick around for several days becoming won't make more time
9:09 am
a commodity is listed on the stock. ainge. bet on its price and if will street replicates the australian model. ever since the sub prime crisis causing economic ruin for countries and individuals the financial giants have been looking for new areas to invest in. in june 20th. the investment bank goldman sachs starts to one. is water the new oil. the front invites his top clients to take a bet on the future of. goldman sachs the conference that was me i used to work at goldman sachs and in
9:10 am
2008 that was a conference that i held there's this absolute intuitive the peel that says population growth is outstripping the water supply that must mean companies are engaged in the water business are a sure thing that there can't mess they get mesmerized by these mega trend appeals and water. does water the next oil we set it up as a question and then mostly dismissed it. water does not have sophisticated trading market and has no substitutes. the question is not going to go away we're just probably not ready for it yet. goldman sachs and its investors must wait. public opinion is not ready yet.
9:11 am
it's not until 2015 and the international climate change conference in paris that the will lead is finally declared a state of emergency. we act here that we are now. of replace our own short term interest behind the air that our young people will bring even the food that they will eat no water that they will drink. in the hopes and dreams that sustain their lives then we won't be too late for them. in the developed world for the last 100 years we haven't had to think about our water or worry about our water it's been essential to unlimited wherever we want it whenever we want it it's been really inexpensive no one thinks about their water bill they don't say oh take a shorter shower the water's too expensive. i think that era is over.
9:12 am
climate change is going to have a huge impact on water availability around the world the same amount of water is going to be available in the big picture but we don't live in the big picture we live in a specific place we raise our food in a specific place and so the movement of that water will have a dramatic impact on how cities manage their water and how we are able to grow food to feed or. the climate that much unseen demands radical changes won't st dreambox on its mission. city group one of the largest u.s. banks publishes a report announcing the end of free water. and you're wasting water on
9:13 am
a gigantic scale in certain regions like california southern spain b.r. seeing scarcity of water sent to extreme degrees i mean you have had thankless silver's water. sailing to barcelona. there is no alternative to pricing water properly and making people realize that every time they take a sip of water there is an opportunity cost and they feel it in their wallet how else are you going to get people to use less if you give it to them for free. the dam has broken. the soft sounds of liberalism roll out to celebrate the union of finance and on time. they're going to see asset markets
9:14 am
selling water dividends even the high frequency traders that funds would become interested so know everybody sees this as opportunity did will come on the question is just when and who will push it 1st and hardest. what would be their motivation in coming profits while also you know. indirectly doing good for humanity so it's the best of all possible worlds it could be better it's very our morrow to tread water but i would be immoral to trade water because what is life he pay for health care. just because it's life doesn't mean it's cannot be priced.
9:15 am
the last stage in the financial is a sign of 4 times. the launch of a stock market index to bet on want to prices stack a stock exchange specializing in technology. this is the 1st time that water has been reduced to an. the man who came up with the equation works in central london. as a former trader in a swiss bank he launched the carbon markets industrialist trade rights to pollute
9:16 am
in the form of credits. before he discovered water. water used to be free in the old but the world is changing is too much stress on the system and the most important commodity on earth can't be free forever if you wanted to put it into the creed scenario. if you don't control it and use it properly what will directly happen is those at the cash will have it and those are not the cash went to. loans coogan is the sort of man who looks to the future. in order to attract investors sunday he's joined forces with the top water expert in the united states and i want to drive around in your dad's gonna just pull around to the side and
9:17 am
last person hail. scoot way back up there. look like they're great. a cowboy living in idaho and the western united states. the only man who knows the secrets of a market that was until now reserved for experts and insiders. claim landry runs a company that has recorded every water transaction since the year 2000. when i got the call it was unusual it was a little outside of our you know our normal focus i was intellectually curious you know from our standpoint it was relatively easy because we had the data. ok we're going to go here on their dinner now. because they like lots of food just like you. it isn't a reliable index to be clear where you're not buying water you're buying the price
9:18 am
of water so if you're not taking physical delivery of the water so it's all you know that is a bit you know it is a bet we're just betting whether the price is going to be high or low 6 months from now so. this is. the price is it a speculation i think we all are managing on what we think the future is going to look like. what is free nobody watery we're all happy that's going back into the dark ages i was in the call market 2006 to 2012. people are talking about what is known since a cheater now it's in the front page of the news. if
9:19 am
what people are saying is coming you better be on top of your water situation we're going to be without water and what i'm doing is getting people to focus through financial instruments to see what is actually going on on the ground it changes the world. the world of water. as in australia both partners have gained the support of powerful local environmental organizations 10 years after the financial crisis the finance you seem to be winning the environmentalists over.
9:20 am
who are seeing more non profit organizations forming to participate in that market and begin looking at ways to acquire water in areas where it's needed for stream flow either for fishery benefit water quality benefit or some other type of of habitat protection. environmental water trades make up about a quarter of the market. is it too late to stop a financial take of a bit on water. the wave is letting up in the midwest and northeast temperatures are rising to dangerous levels in the west
9:21 am
except that he watches and warnings are posted tonight in parts of california at the same time nearly 40 large wildfires are burning across the left. fournier has built up its wealth through water. here the reserves are in the north whilst the cities and farms are in the south. in order to domesticate this resource ringback. a huge canal being built 7 transporting billions of gallons of water. climbing over the mountain irrigating the fertile valleys before supplying the people of los angeles. the california aqueduct is the essential artery that ensures the life and prosperity of 40000000 people. but climate change threatens the californian dream.
9:22 am
california doesn't charge farmers for water if they drill a well and pump out of the ground they can pump as much as they want whenever they want not only is there no charge no one even keeps track of how much water they use and during the last drought which was just a year and a half ago some of the farmers in the central valley of california were pumping so hard that the ground was falling the ground was collapsing by an inch a month. that's a lawyer not so much water we're right down there so today i'm declaring a drought emergency in the state of california. record droughts and disastrous wildfires to california has been catapulted into the world of extreme weather phenomenon. these humpbacks.
9:23 am
these honesty sneak. in the middle of the last drought california passed a really important law that's going to change water use in the state forever it may change work it's grown it count. one year it may change who succeeds and who fails . under pressure from environmentalist's the government is forced to vote in the new law called the sigma which limits underground water extraction. from known california and famous and cities will be entitled to a specific water quota based on their consumption. a revolution in the land of the free. sigma or the sustainable groundwater management act initially i think was viewed
9:24 am
with fear and trepidation i think people recognize that it was a necessary piece of legislation just like balancing your checkbook for your home you can't live by writing checks for more money than you have and so i think collectively the value is endorsed it and supports the idea of sustainability. in bakersfield or the local water agency has decided to create a stock exchange to allow farmers to buy and sell their quotas. 10 years off to australia california is coming around to the concept of water mockeries and you maybe you're july and you say wow based on this projection i'm going to have a supply surplus you may decide you know i'm going to manage that i'm going to go into the market make that available and maybe generate some additional economic value so if it falls through afterwards we hit confirm and it falls through they didn't pay or they didn't you know doesn't work out how do we let you know again that i want take my water back you know maybe you can you know i that once you hit
9:25 am
confirm this far as the district is concerned the transaction is complete and there's there's going to be some growing pains and certainly it's not going to be perfect every time but we're trying to structure something that seems straightforward. some of the people the wheels were beginning to turn and they were thinking you know can i turn this to my advantage is there a way for me to generate additional value and i think that just the word market invokes in people a sense of is there an opportunity can i somehow be advantaged by participating and that's by far the most common reaction that i have when people hear that you know we're creating a market for water i think they view it as an opportunity contract with the right project not a platform provider i don't have skin in the game in terms of your bottom line here again environmentalist are at the forefront encouraging the establishment of these markets you know we're here because we we see it as an important tool for
9:26 am
flexibility as folks are dealing with more and more scarcity under sigma and in you know climate change in general so we've been talking to air for some time since this is ground 0 for ground water over draft it would be great to actually experiment with how water training could benefit this region you know the alley here is definitely ground 0 but there's groups in sonoma there's groups in. fox canyon. and oh sorry maybe you could see a valve and they were clear you're going to be ok i thought you were i mean and you know i'm very surprised of the true environments are approved markets i was to initially i think you know after we had a chance to talk and understand what their interest were recognized that we were very much aligned these transactions have to be evaluated not just from a financial standpoint but we also have to take into account environmental impacts water quality issues all of the things that they're concerned about and so it's good to have their input in their vision and so that if that answers your 1st
9:27 am
question i mean we don't know we're right now we're just kind of trying to project into the future would you have imagined that situation before no this is i think taken many of us by surprise 45 years ago. this would not have been possible why supply has been constrained. by definition of sustainability and so the market i think is necessary. well california become the new australia. when intensive agriculture monopolized this resource. will small farmers disappear sacrificed in the name of water profitability wall street's new creek.
9:28 am
afghanistan is on the cusp of a new chapter in its history. as to the us on the telephone signed an agreement to pave the way for the withdrawal of international troops. the high cost was paid to get to this point. over the past few years the us has increasingly conducted its part of the war from the sky was more bombs dropped last year than any other year in the past decade. but with that came a rise in civilian casualties. this is all accidents do happen at mistakes do happen and that this is about owning our mistakes this is about saying sorry in this about accountability in a largely unaccountable war for families we interviewed not receiving adult humans from the u.s. left without closure. they told us that they so like what happened to their loved ones was a crime. and they want justice and answers something war too often tonight's.

9:33 am
well california become the new australia. when intensive agriculture monopolized this resource. and will small farmers disappear sacrificed in the name of water profitability. will streets you create. people then fight over water since white people set foot in this valley it's our life if we don't have water we don't have an economy and we we don't have anything you have the growers you have the packers you have the shippers you have the manufacturers but it's all based on what comes up out of the ground and you need water for that. historically the central valley has been the courtroom that supplies the whole country the fruits and vegetables considered of national security it ensures food
9:34 am
independence for the united states. but over the past decade the crops have changed. somewhat he said disappearing in the valley has become an homage to producing machine. as in australia the financial eyes ation of water is transforming landscapes and encouraging monoculture. i can remember because i grew up in the valley in a driving up and down and all over the place that you had much smaller plots of land and farms and a lot more alfalfa and cotton especially cotton and now you have you know just as far as the eye can see in some areas on the trees.
9:35 am
as the price of water increases and it becomes more valuable than the land and more valuable than the production of the land. well you have a commodity it's valuable somewhere if you can't use it on the land what else might you be able to do with that. farm it to sell. so you know where water is a new crop yes i do wonders what is probably the most valuable crop in the central valley right now it's more valuable than oil. so what if blue gold were to replace black own.
9:36 am
journey that of age is what's known as a watered down a reference to the billionaires of yesterday who control do you think it's. i knew were l.a. was and you were san francisco was this central valley is something that was foreign to me and after i bought the land was about 4000 acres i bought it bought 84270000 dollars and had today's value had $12000000.00 with the water rights and today's value maybe more and. a lot of people feel that john bit of it is not a farmer but he is a water farmer that he buys these lands and it's him self involved in the stuff in
9:37 am
order to get control of the groundwater. my strategy has always been that it's not so much the land but it's the water and maybe i was a little bit early maybe i wasn't how much have you invested in the all these infrastructures i will say in the hundreds of millions so. that's that's what i have invested hundreds of millions of dollars yes or does it worth it yes. absolutely and the. john bit of beach is not afraid of soaring water prices nor the arrival for street investors now but him the danger lies elsewhere the.
9:38 am
cities will always get the politics are there the money is there they can increase the cost of water so that the farmers can pay for. they're going to steal it by making it so expensive that the farmer. is that their mercy that the fear is it's all going to go to l.a. because l.a. has all the money that's that's the fear remember m w d the metropolitan water district which is the big gorilla down south they have millions of customers where you could spread the cost out and it's not going to affect the individual customer.
9:39 am
letter is money. it's power and it's money and it's becoming more and more and more valuable almost daily. in the land of free enterprise good competition is fair. city against countryside the colleges it's against farmers. some people are already preparing to become water bankers welcoming those who wish to stop their reserves for using all reselling them according to market prices. so much drop as we set up as a sponge to be able to capture as much water available when it's here and then we
9:40 am
have a luxury when the surface water is not available we can fall back upon the stored water in the groundwater basin. semi-tropical owns these canals we paid for the canals we maintained the canals we built the canals so if another lad the land owner was to actually have access to my canal them move water supply they acquired we're going to pay for. as a seller if it's more interesting to say we want to to cease than to farmers your body at a higher ability to sell water to cities. but then again where those cities getting their food supply are the import of the super food supply from outside the state outside the country or they want to have a local food supply. there walk having the natural stream system your home where is where is the value is it fish is a farms as a people. that there really at the in the day is the hard issue for us to decide about where is the best use for water supply and
9:41 am
berries based upon where you are. trying to the century economy centered around the oil trade or. nowadays water looks set to shape the 21st century. we have seen financial investors and others come in and look at ways to you know take advantage of that their goal is to get in before the market elevates the price of water and in some cases i've heard that they've done it. and how do you look at that. you know there are some that feel that that's kind of exploiting the system but you know there's nothing that we can do to prevent it but may not like it but that's just that's the way our system that's what capitalism is set up to accommodate as you meant them personally. no.
9:42 am
does it make sense should we be trading water and i think we're past that question we we are treating water in this country and our people are moving to the west. may need water. good just the beginning of this water river lucian the water financial revolution. you can't let the market be the only decider of how water's allocated price can't be the only way you distribute water because then you have rich people with big swimming pools and poor people who are dead.
9:43 am
down they get. to her yet. that's it that's. just the one that doesn't stop the morning starts and that the love that it's that funny and the genocidal sense that the stuff that the global water rush is accelerating. privatization competition profit. key words of the liberal. faced with this one woman standing up. the canadian human rights activist. she has already won her 1st victory of the united nations in 2010 when the general assembly voted in favor of a resolution that recognized access to water as a universal right. it must be declared
9:44 am
a public resource that belongs equally i was in the united nations up in the balcony the day that they voted and i thought we were going to lose i had staff with me they were trying we don't worry we're going to be back in 2 years or 5 years don't matter how long it takes we're going to be back and we'll do it and when they vote they vote they sit in their chairs and they voted electronically so you know right away so boom 122 countries voted in favor and 41 but they abstained they didn't have the nerve to oppose even though they actually wanted to oppose. among the nations that are staying that they were australia united states and great britain countries that have all chosen to turn water into a financial product. the human family took an evolutionary step forward at that point and since then every country has ratified it in one way or another it's it's now universal so you've got it now you've got it now. may
9:45 am
have won the battle but she hasn't yet won the war in stock on december 28th the activist was invited by the nobel committee to continue her fight at a conference about the future. so we thought we'd focus on activism from the start of. the comfort of the. united nations calls water scarcity the scour of the earth. to truly guarantee the human right to water we must protect it as a public trust and a commons not a commodity to be put on the open market for sale like oil and gas i must challenge the current power structures and institutions that support an equal access to the
9:46 am
planet's dwindling water supply. our goal must be clean affordable accessible public water for all for everywhere for all time. is it the end of cheap or free water well the corporations and citi group and others want it to be the end of free and cheap water that's their argument they're saying oh yes it's a human right because they can't fight that anymore because everybody says you're awful person if you if you deny it so oh yes it's a human right but the end of free and cheap water when they say it's got to be a commodity it's because they know that the scarcer it becomes in a world where you desperately need water there's there's gold it's cool it's blue gold. stucco. appears as the grain of sand capable of bringing the water market machinery to
9:47 am
a halt. there are an awful lot of people in elite circles and let's face it the nobels pretty elite that believe that the best thing to do for what the water crisis is to modify it put it on the open market like oil and gas and see what see where it goes from there right so i think for me it represented a breakthrough in our in getting our message out that we have to see water as a human right as a public trust and something that belongs to everyone that's our goal it's a big goal and not one everyone shares i have to tell you thank you so much for coming really early it was wonderful the activists now. and sometimes it'll be hard because sometimes you'll find nobody else it's like you know why me why don't why don't other people care and it's just the way it is and you guys do i know your beer losers. the wheels of the road full strength.
9:48 am
during the fight against the financialization of water is fueled by the refusal to accept any sum to privatizing and in the streets of dublin room and paris citizens are spearheading the resistance. little need to step down to believe looks awful but. i'm not sure it's true that real and if you see the feel the sort of ability to get in the french capital politicians have also taken up the fight in 29 the city council ousted veolia and suez the 2 giants who. the water market and created its own water management company. on that will. be the best song makers are the best sun best sun the boss section editors.
9:49 am
follow we're going to tell you all could get off on the sun stood over just as i say finance or the fed could exploit the source so in all. due course it was a young. but you really can lose it pretty losing to prove it in. the other be difficult them. of all you have a comment on want to understand it must know. presumptions that are in the funeral so. they'll take of them.
9:50 am
lot of ideal to. make it alls webs out police. focus you want to film you want to go. then. coming out. will he stick it. in a moment all in movies or depict like others also supposed to yes and maybe your thought there would be this shortall don't know. how long will the european fortress be able to withstand the financial market pressure. in 2012 a petition called right to water a mass nearly 2000000 signatures a 1st for your. protesters demanding the water be given
9:51 am
